)Mine has the hesitation. I have read here where those that have it on theirs made it go away....I have the latest download too. Hmmmm, perhaps I could learn something from your feedback here... Good post.Phil Madren said:When changing over to the CAI systems and using a tuner, does the problem of the GAS pedal being a delay go away or get any better? Punch the gas and it seems to be a second before the car does anything.

Actually having an X-Cal2 around can come in handy... I've gotten quite a bit of use out of it...drbino said:Good read, fishinggts. Thanks!
Now that I am more educated, I have a question. It doesn't make sense to purchase a $350 computer that will be used once (I would think most people would just flash their ECU with the new tune and leave it be). Shouldn't there be someone who already has the equipment who would tune my car for a smaller fee?
Hey. Tell me the answer about the rear noise too! It's a low rumble, as if you have snow tires that are low on air, and it goes away in two seconds. And you can't feel it at all.Phil Madren said:Thanks for the answer. If I can just find out what that noise is coming from the rear area I will even better
The tuners can only be used with one car. This is because the tuner will "backup" your factory tune to its memory, then you can make changes to your tune and upload it. The whole time, it has a copy of the original configuration. This tuner is now "locked" for your car. You can free the lock by restoring you car to factory tune, then the tuner is free to use with another car.drbino said:Good read, fishinggts. Thanks!

does that happen even when the TCS is off?fishingjts said:Now, one thing the computer program does is limit the amount of torque especially in 1st gear. So when you step on the gas from a dead stop the computer says "Oh no! There is too much torque developing so I better shut things down...."
Try turning off the overdrive... Or better yet, put it in 3rd.LordBritish said:The automatic 05 GTs do have some pretty bad throttle lag in them. That lag can be over one second sometime. I'm used to it now, however, you do have to plan for it.
For example, i'm hesitant to pass a slow car on a two lane highway unless I have tons of room - it just reacts too slow. You have to be aware of it and plan for it, unfortunately.
Hey CityDave,CityDave said:When I got my SCT XCal2 tuner installed I had to relearn to drive the 05. When I left the tune shop I left a trail of rubber being the throttle responded 100% better. The auto trans now shifts better and holds the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shifts longer. I have 3 tunes for the car, a 87 and 91 octane street and then a 91 octane race setup. I will be getting lap top soon so that I can adjust the tunes as needed.
Need to add that the tuner can remove the REV and Speed limiters that the factory puts in the stock tune. My limiters have been removed.
